Head coarsely punctate, with many minute punctures in the 

 interspaces ; sulcation shorter, wide, very deep ; apical im- 

 pression distinctly limited behind ; prothorax constricted 



very near the apex hispidiceps 



Head more finely, densely, and uniformly punctured ; median 

 sulcation fine, longer and less distinct ; apical impression 

 well limited at the sides but not behind ; prothorax con- 

 stricted at apical fifth angu§tu1u§ 



Antennal scape about as long as the funicle, and fully one-half 

 longer than the club. 



Punctures of elytral series large and distinct explicilus 



Punctures very small and not at all distinct apacheanu§ 



Beak and front not sulcate ; occiput having a very deep, somewhat 

 elongate fovea in the middle and just behind the middle, of the 

 eyes f^parsus

The specimens which I have assigned to this species are shorter 

 and more robust than usual in our fauna, although of a com- 

 mon European type. 



I have been unable to compare them directly with European 

 specimens, but, on account of the fact just stated, it is probable 

 that their specific identity has been correctly determined. The 

 specimens in my cabinet are from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, 

 and Nebraska. 



S. extrusus n. sp. — Form oblong, slightly depressed, very densely 

 clothed with small, rounded scales, nearly uniform, dark-brown in 

 color, but with a few white intermingled on the third and fifth intervals; 

 small dark setae very abundant, erect, long, and robust; larger white 

 setae distinct, sparsely distributed in single rows on the intervals; ab- 

 domen densely setose and squamose throughout. Head slightly wider 

 than long; front flat; head and beak densely punctate, squamose, and 

 setose; the latter about as long as wide, feebly carinate in the middle at 

 apex, where it is also feebly impressed; frontal fovea deep, elongate; 

 canaliculation at base of beak short, fine, and feeble; eyes large, elon- 

 gate, antennal scape reaching the middle of the eye. Prothorax slightly 

 wider than long, very slightly narrowed from base to apex; the latter both 

 subtruncate; strongly constricted at one-sixth the length from the apex 

 on the sides, the constriction posteriorly arcuate, and feebler on the 

 disk, feebly constricted at the sides very near the base; disk evenly con- 

 vex; sides feebly arcuate; surface finely, densely punctate; scales whiter 

 at the sides, and with many small, semi-erect setae toward the middle; 

 median vitta not distinct. Elytra oblong, three-fourths longer than 

 wide; sides parallel; disk four-fifths wider than the prothorax, finely
